The following safety precautions should be reviewed to avoid injury to the user and damage to 
the  product  (and  other  products  connected  to  it).    To  avoid  potential  hazards  only  use  this 
product as specified. 

 

Only  suitably  qualified  personnel  should  use  this  equipment.    Servicing  of  this 
product should only be carried out by suitably qualified service personnel. 

 

The high voltage generated by this unit is extremely dangerous and may be fatal. 

 

This unit is designed for operation in a designated high voltage test area. 

To Avoid Fire Hazards and Personal Injury 

  Use the correct power supply lead.  Only use a suitably rated and approved power supply 

lead for the country of use. 

  Ensure that systems that the unit is to be connected to are dead. 

  Do not connect and disconnect leads whilst outputs are switched on. 

  Ensure  that  the  product  is  grounded.    To  avoid  electric  shock  it  is  essential  that  the 

grounding  conductor  is  connected  to  the  earth  ground.    An  additional  earth  terminal  is 
provided  on  the  unit  for  connection  to  a  local  earth  if  necessary.    Ensure  that  the  unit  is 
properly grounded before making any connections to inputs or outputs. 

  Output ratings must be observed to prevent fire hazards and risk of injury to the operator.  

Consult  the  product  manual  for  ratings  information  before  making  any  connections  to  the 
unit. 

  It  is  ESSENTIAL  to  consult  the  product  manual  for  rating  information  before  making  any 

connection to a terminal or terminal group marked with a warning triangle. 

  Only use fuses of a type and rating specified for this product. 

  Do not operate the unit out of its case or with any covers or panels removed. 

  Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is present. 

  Do not operate the product if any damage is suspected.  Refer the unit to qualified service 

personnel to be checked. 

  Do not operate the unit in wet or damp conditions 

  Do not operate the unit in an explosive atmosphere 

  This unit is not designed for unattended operation 

If  any  further  queries  occur  regarding  the  usage  and  maintenance  of 
the  equipment  detailed  in  this  manual,  please  refer  these  to  the 
supplier of the equipment in the first case or to:
